Go behind the headlines to explore the wider background of news
stories that are making a major impact across the world. In
Violence Against Women we ask why so many women across the world
are victims of violence, from domestic abuse and rape to forced
abortions, female genital mutilation and murder. Why does it
happen, who are the perpetrators and what can be done to stop it
happening? This book includes quotes from key figures, opinions
from all sides of the argument and debate panels that invite
readers aged 12+ to discuss the issues that shape our world. Other
titles in the Behind the News series: Global Financial Crisis,
Hostage Takers, Race and Crime, School Shootings and Uprising in
the Middle East
Betty can't wait to be a first-grade witch. But on the first day of
school, her classmates start calling her "Itty Bitty" because she's
small and still uses her kinder-broom. Betty doesn't like the
nickname-or how it makes her feel itty-bitty inside. So she comes
up with a BIG idea to prove herself: winning the Halloween Dash.
As irresistible and dazzling as its Californian backdrop, Just
Don't Mention It is a companion novel to the Did I Mention I Love
You trilogy from Estelle Maskame, author of addicting Wattpad
books, that explores Tyler's story-his heart-stopping tale of past
hurt, finding hope, and figuring out who the hell he wants to be.
Just between us, can love heal all wounds? At seventeen, Tyler
Bruce is hot - a hot mess. His girlfriend is a knockout, his
reputation's untouchable, parties are nothing without him. Even his
car is unreal. But inside Tyler is broken - and he'll stop at
nothing to keep that a secret. Then one big summer Eden comes to
stay. She's upfront, sharp, and far more enticing than a stepsister
should be. She also sees straight through Tyler's bad boy facade to
the vulnerable kid within. The quiet kid who took all the punches.
As Eden draws Tyler in, his defenses start to crumble around him.
In his past, vulnerability only brought him danger. But now, it
might just bring him everything he needs...if it doesn't break him.
